Class 5/12/15

Today in class we watched a new documentary titled "Sexy Baby".   The documentary outlined the shift sexuality and how the new cyber age affects children.  In the beginning of the documentary we saw an outrageous act of a a 10 year old essentially "twerking".  She was also singing along to a Britney Spears/Lady Gaga song which included many cuss words.  The main character, 13 year old Winifred, uses the social media site facebook as well.  In the documentary, we saw comments on one Facebook picture of winifred.  Many of which, included terms such as "boobs", "slut", and "whore".  When I saw this, I wondered how a mother could knowingly let her daughter post such revealing pictures along with such provocative comments.  If I were a parent, I would not even allow my child to be on Facebook at such a young age.  Luckily, the parents finally took away Winifreds Facebook when they found out she posted a video of her younger sister singing a song with extremely profane lyrics.  I used to not be worried about how technology would affect the younger generation.  However, just watching the beginning of this documentary has really opened my eyes and makes me think twice about technology.
